Two Northumbria University researchers are among 55 early career scientists across the UK to receive funding from the Academy of Medical Sciences' flagship Springboard programme, as part of a £6.7 million investment in discovery-driven health research.
A medical device company spun out of Northumbria University has reached a significant milestone — receiving CE marking for a breath sampling platform that peer-reviewed research has demonstrated can reliably collect saliva-free exhaled breath condensates (EBC) from the deep lung, making it the first technology of its type to achieve this distinction.
Major improvements could be made to the development and production of mRNA-based vaccines and medicines after a university and industry consortium received funding to investigate how AI and machine learning can speed up manufacturing processes.
Nursing academics from Northumbria University have been delivering Covid-19 vaccinations to priority patients, as part of the University’s continued efforts to support the frontline response to the pandemic.
A new, faster and safer way of diagnosing the Ebola virus has been developed by an academic from Northumbria University, Newcastle. Research led and carried out by Dr Sterghios Moschos at Northumbria means that patients with Ebola-like symptoms can be identified and treated much sooner and at the point of care, helping to reduce the spread of the disease and risks to others.
